Poem -

My Eyes Are no Longer Pure

The Eyes are given color at the time of birth; But the mind knows nothing of colors diverse.

They're pure and see only the smile of each face. No dark or light skinned man; no race.

Then we listen and our world begins to fade; The eyes that saw a smile now see colors of different shade.

Color seperates us off; No longer hand in hand. We see blacks running away from the hands of the white man.

What happened to my eyes,
What happened to one skin,
What happened to the beginning; love for every man?

Look at me; look at me

Look at me; look at me
Tell me that you don't see the color of my skin or the wool of my hair?...
